Leadership Auditions

As I mentioned in a previous post, we will hold self-submitted, optional leadership auditions for leadership chairs for our March 2024 concert. If you want to participate, you’ll need to record two scales (major & minor) of your choice, plus 3 minutes (minimum) of solo repertoire of your choice. The deadline for submission is Friday, December 22.

You may submit your video via this Google Form.


Finally, another reminder that I’m conducting The Nutcracker with Oregon Ballet Theatre. There are shows until 12/24. Call the OBT Box Office at 503-222-5538 for student tickets (make sure you select a show with orchestra!).

Happy holidays and happy practicing,

Dr. G.
